Mr Nolan then said: "So a Polish doctor working really hard in our health service overstays his 30 minute parking, gets a parking ticket. He will be deported?"

Mr McNarry replied "It's a crime, yes" before Mr Nolan asked "why?".

The Ukip representative said: "Because he has broken the law." Mr Nolan asked if the veteran politician "was for real".

Mr McNarry said: "It's called claiming back your country, Stephen."

He added: "First of all, it has to be a crime endorsed by the court.

"You've just gone overboard... I'm playing along with you, Stephen, because you're being nonsensical."

He continued: "We need our country back, we need to be running our own affairs.

"We are capable of doing it. We have a great opportunity in Northern Ireland, a marvellous opportunity in Northern Ireland, to keep going as we've been going.

"Let's stand up for ourselves and let's give ourselves a break."

He then added: "We can't have Isis running our country."

At lunchtime, Mr McNarry released a statement regarding his appearance on his show.

He said: “George on the Shankill was right. I do need to clarify my remarks on the Nolan show this morning.

"Clearly, no-one should be deported for a minor offence. It is only where a very serious offence occurs, followed by due process and subsequent conviction in the courts, that anyone should be deported.

"This morning’s remarks were part of what I considered a silly line of questioning taking an extreme example and blowing it out of all proportion.

"I wanted Stephen Nolan to consider Ukip’s deportation policy seriously and not in an extreme light as he did, geared more to entertainment rather than public information.

"Let me make the position absolutely crystal clear – Ukip would not deport anyone for anything other than a serious offence followed by due process and conviction in the courts. That is Ukip policy on deportation. Ukip have serious policies on migration and deportation.

"The facts cannot be denied – that nearly 140,000 national insurance cards have been issued and registered here to people born outside the UK since 2000 and that represents nearly 19% of our 720,000 workforce.

"Youth unemployment here stands at 22%, which is 50% higher than the figure of 14% in England. Parents the length and breadth of Northern Ireland are worried that their children cannot get a job, a home or a future and migration is contributing to that.”
